Goon Squad

Deftones

I carve my name across your towns when I'm set
I cut inside before the trends begin
I spend my time perfecting waves of contrast
Cutting out all the same shit I've outgrown

I'm bringing it in style myself
You know it is with ease, no sweat

I see the crowns and I forget the couture
Two at a time I watch the kingdoms fold

I'm bringing it in style myself
You know it is with ease, no sweat
I'm breaking in with all my friends
So are you in?
Designed for you
Designed by me

Before we get down you should prepare your heartstrings
To cut all the ties and watch the trends begin

I'm bringing it in style myself
You know it is with ease, no sweat
I'm breaking in with all my friends
So are you in?
Designed special for you by me
Designed special for you by me
Designed special for you by me

One last thing, you should beware the content
I cut inside and let the trend begin

I'm bringing it in style myself
You know it is with ease, no sweat
I'm breaking in with all my friends
So are you in? Are you in?
Are you in? Are you in?
Are you in?
Designed special for you by me
Designed special for you by me
Designed special for you by me
Designed special for you by me

    I absolutely agree MyTooCents. Although it's hard to really interpret the meaning of Chino's lyrics at times, it's pretty obvious that with the lines...

    "I’m bringing it in style myself You know it is with ease no sweat I’m breaking in with all my friends So are you in? Designed for you, designed by me"

    and

    "I carve my name Across your towns When I’m set Cut inside before The trends begin"

    He is revealing his effort to continue being one of the most innovative and respected artists in the music industry. When The Deftones come to your town, he is going to "carve his name" into your memory in such a memorable and mind-blowing way that you will never forget their presence until the day you die...and after seeing them in concert in Mesa, Arizona, I can not agree more with Chino's swagger and confidence.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
